Short introduction:

The journal is written from a housewife’s perspective, talking about the impact of the revolution. Initially, she did not want to be involved in the revolution. However, after the Boston Massacre, her son died, which changed her perspective. She began to desire independence for America.

​

The American Revolution was worth it due to the independence of America. Americans no longer needed to pay high taxes, and the successful revolution marked the end of an era of conflicts and ushered in an era of peace and stability. Birth no longer determines destiny, Mr. President. Political power is in the hands of ordinary men, and inheritance laws now allow daughters and sons to inherit. Land expansion has become possible. All of these listed things have changed.

However, there are still many things that have remained the same, such as women’s rights, the mistreatment of Native Americans, the separation of church and state, the dominance of wealthy landowners and merchants in politics, slavery in the South, and the control of white, rich men. All of these listed things remain the same. But overall, the revolution has been worth it. While the American Revolution involved sacrifices and challenges, its profound impact on the course of history and its ideals cannot be denied.
